Cinema at the Institute – LANDSCAPES IN ITALIAN CINEMA (Set in The Cuneo Valleys)
Director: Giorgio Diritti. Cast: Thierry Toscan, Alessandra Agosti, Dario Anghilante. Italy. 2005
A small mountain village in the Occitan Alps is gradually dying out, its income and the livelihood of its ageing population only maintained by the summer tourist season. Into this small, tight knit and conservative community comes a French shepherd, bringing his young family, his goats and his entrepreneurial skills as cheese-maker. Initially he is welcomed, if not with open arms, then at least with the sense that his arrival could reinvigorate village life. But the newcomer’s experiences start to turn sour as misunderstandings multiply and the villagers begin to resent the intrusion his family and business cause to their so quiet lives.
